bring call of duty back!

Let me preface this post with a little bit about my gaming history.  First, let's start with the phrase, 'gaming'.  Up until about 8 years ago, the word 'gaming' meant dice, maps and dungeons and dragons to me.  I had spent some of my youth playing video games:  Star Wars, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Smurfs, The Legend of Zelda and the almighty Super Mario Bros.  Then I kind of got out of it for awhile.  In college, I got a Sega CD and started playing again, but very little and usually N.H.L. '93-96'.  After that era, I got out of it.  And while I was out of it, video games became 'gaming' and it got serious.  Flash forward to 2009, where I get my first GM job in Long Beach, about 45 minutes from my hometown of Chino, CA.  About 3 months into it, I moved myself to Long Beach.  All of a sudden I was in a new city, with no friends and just work to keep me busy.  Eventually, I got pretty lonely, which is hard for a loner.  But all of my friends were playing Call of Duty:  Modern Warfare online.  Hello XBox360!  I bought myself one and Call of Duty and a new era of gaming was born for me.  All of the sudden, I could stay up all night drinking and talking to my friends, whilst killing the crap out of other people I didn't know.  It was great.  It was a great game.  It was so involving.  I couldn't get enough.  It was the only game I played.  I was definitely not great at it but I didn't care, it was fun and the social aspect was just as engrossing as the gameplay.  Soon, I was making friends all of the country and even Canada.  I always had friends online to play with, so it was never ending.  Most nights grew into the morning.  I didn't get a lot of sleep.
